"It's an air raid siren! There are enemy planes, sister-in-law quickly hide! ”

Anyone who has undergone special training and experienced the Battle of Shanghai is familiar with this kind of sound, and the moment they hear the air raid siren, the streets suddenly become a pot of porridge, and all pedestrians are running, but they don't know where to be safe.

Bucktooth and Mazi didn't care about anything else, and rushed forward and dragged Lola and the three of them rushed into the girls' academy next to them that taught girls to sing.

The shape of this college is Western-style, most likely a converted church, although the Japanese army is brutal, but there are still some scruples when you see similar Western-style buildings, and it should be the safest here.

Panic, screams, and fear spread through the city, and five minutes after the air raid sirens sounded, a death-like figure appeared in the air with the terrifying sound of aircraft engines.

With her hat in one hand and her backpack in the other, Rosa hid in the women's academy with the girls under the protection of buckteeth and pockmarks.

Still, she looked through the window and saw a line of V-shaped planes growing bigger and bigger in the sky, heading for her.

It was Japanese bombers, in teams of five, that were to deliver targeted shock bombing strikes before the Army entered the city.

In a few moments, bombs with whistles fell from the sky, and the first round of five planes, each dropping two bombs, followed by violent tremors, explosions, fires, and cries, roars, and wails.

The most recent bomb exploded on the main road they had just passed, and the entire main college building shook with a roar, and dust from the ceiling fell down Rosa's hat, shoulders, and even some into her collar.

But none of this matters, or in such a situation, people are not aware of such trivial things.

Rosa clearly saw that the family of three who had just dragged a female student in a rickshaw to escape the city, at this moment the car had overturned on the side of the road, and the female student who was still wearing a school uniform was half-lying on the ground crying something, half of her cheeks were bloody, and her parents did not respond no matter how they called.

"No, we can't hide here, we have to go to the street right now to save people! It's too dangerous to drag those wounded people into a building and just stay on the street! ”

Rosa tries to drag the schoolgirl back to the academy, but is dragged by Bucktooth and Asako.

"Sister-in-law! It's even more dangerous to go out now! The way you can't help them, or how you can help them, is with a pen and paper in your hand, so that the whole world knows about the atrocities of the Japanese army, and the politicians who are high up in the world know what is happening on the other side of the world, instead of rushing to the streets to die now!

That kind of death is worthless, and no one even cares! Now is the time of war, the dead and wounded people will become a string of cold numbers after the war, believe in Mr. Zhou's arrangement, believe in the Z-shaped task force, you have to believe that those experienced guerrillas will not let the Japanese devils break into the city of Nanjing smoothly, wait a little longer...... Wait a little longer! ”

Rosa was held by the shoulders of the two and could not break free at all, but during this time, the second air detachment of the Japanese army also arrived, the whistles began to become dense, explosions bloomed everywhere in the city of Nanjing, many buildings were damaged, and even most of them collapsed, and the firelight began to connect from the dots into a line, and then from the line into a large area.

"Fuck back! Knock down all those planes for Lao Tzu! ”

Tang Sheng, then the commander of the Nanjing garrison, personally walked up to the city wall and ordered the defending troops to use anti-aircraft guns and heavy assault guns to shoot into the sky.

But unfortunately, perhaps because of their poor marksmanship or poor equipment, the first round of bombers flew away after dropping one round of bombs, and none of them were shot down.

The terrible whistling overhead faded away, until it stopped, and the people on the road reacted, and the bombing seemed to be over.

However, only a few people can clearly realize that this is just the beginning, the beginning of their nightmarish days.

Seeing that the bombing stopped, Rosa finally broke free from the shackles of Bucktooth and Mako, and ran into the street as soon as possible, trying to drag the schoolgirl into the academy.

The other students, frightened by this scene, also slowly reacted, and rushed out of the academy under the leadership of the Western female teacher, and began to help the injured people on the street to treat their wounds.

"Dad~~Mom~~ I should listen to you, I should listen to you and leave earlier~~~ I hurt you, I killed you~~~~!"

Just now the schoolgirl cried heartbreakingly, her father and mother were unfortunately killed in a round of bombing just now, but the old couple tried to protect the child with their bodies before they died, and the last protected schoolgirl only suffered some external injuries, but it was not fatal, but her parents could no longer wake up.

At the same time, the garrison stationed outside Nanjing had already exchanged fire with the Japanese vanguard.

This attack was the first major strategy of the Japanese army after the occupation of Shanghai, and they attached great importance to it, and they mobilized eight divisions, two brigades, and a navy with a total of 200,000 troops, and attacked Nanjing from the north and south.

Beilu is the Shanghai Dispatch Army, which has the 3rd, 9th, 11th, 13th, 16th, 101st Divisions and the Zongshigetsu Detachment.

The South Road is the 10th Group Army, under the jurisdiction of the 6th, 18th, 114th Division and the Guoqi Detachment, which is mighty, burning and looting all the way, and has come to the vicinity of Nanjing City.

Tang Sheng, the commander-in-chief of Nanjing, also mobilized about 110,000 defensive forces to meet the Japanese army in the suburbs, urban areas, and peripheral heights.

However, the overall strength of the two sides was too different, and the defenders of the garrison lost the Taihu defense line after resisting for several days, and had no choice but to retreat to Fushan and Suzhou to redeploy.

However, the two sides still fought fiercely on the front line of Changshu, Xinglong and Fushan for several days, and the final result was that Changzhou, Changshu, Suzhou, and Jiaxing were successively captured by the Japanese army, followed by the loss of Wuxi, the loss of Jiangyin, and the breakthrough of Xicheng County, and the main force of the Japanese army has arrived in the area of Xixia Mountain, Tangshan, and Chunhua, and established peripheral positions.

In this process, there was no lack of bloody men in the garrison responsible for defending Nanjing, who knew that they were invincible but still held their positions and resisted bravely, and the commanders of the 88th Division of the defending army, Zhu Chi, Gao Zhisong, and Yi Anhua, the commander of the 87th Division, all died heroically in this battle......

"Brother Hao, the front is Wuhu, we are almost to Nanjing, the route set by Mr. Zhou for us is from the Wujiang River to the south, sniping at the Japanese army's Kunisaki detachment, preventing them from converging with the large army."

On the Yuxikou River, Wang Lianhao led his more than 1,000 people, and he was about to arrive at Wujiang according to the scheduled time, but his heart was still hanging in his throat, because he heard the explosion, even if it was so far away, he could still hear the rumbling explosion, has the Japanese army begun to attack Nanjing? I wish the defenders could resist for a little longer.

"Order the whole army to march quickly, the enemy has exchanged fire with the defenders, we need to arrive at the position earlier than scheduled, and I believe that the brothers of the other task forces have the same idea as me!"

"Yes! All of them have ~~~ a quick march, running forward ~~! ”

Wang Lianhao was so anxious that he could only order his men to run forward, and by the time he answered this order, the workers' joint army led by Wang Xian in Zhenjiang had already exchanged fire with the Japanese 16th Division Shigetsu Detachment.

The gang wanted to go around the Jingjiang waterway to the north of Nanjing to complete the siege, and Wang Xian's task was to cut off this line to prevent the city from becoming a besieged and isolated city.

To the west, the first task force with the prefix Z commanded by Yuan Qing and Yuan Shan could already overlook the city of Nanjing through Pukou, and they were also the first of several troops to arrive at the preset location.

The team led by Dabao and Mancang's uncle and nephew had more than one encounter with the Japanese 114th Division, 18th Division, and 6th Division from Wuxing.

Due to the disparity in the strength of the two sides, Dabao and Mancang's task force could only fight and retreat, and finally met Xiaodong, Lao Zhang, and Yu Guilai in Yixing, and fought a beautiful range counterattack, and then marched to the southwest non-stop, entering the preset location arranged by Zhou Yu in advance - Chunhua.
